PACC embraces a vision in which people strive together to build an equitable, diverse, engaged, and flourishing community in central Brooklyn. In our work as a community development corporation, PACC pursues five major goals:

*first, to preserve and develop safe and affordable housing, a basic human right;

*second, to support a vibrant local commerce through which small businesses serve the market needs of community residents;

*third, to sustain and develop an economic, racial, and cultural diversity that can enrich the lives of all;

*fourth, to promote knowledge, initiative, and concerted action that can advance individual and common interests; and

*fifth, to foster an ethic that all members of the community bear personal responsibility to contribute to the greater good.
